What to know about business sale sales in Delaware

The title should be in the business's legal name. Provide the buyer with documentation of signatory authority (e.g., a certificate of incumbency or corporate resolution).
What to include in your bill of sale

Seller guidance
If the business is selling, ensure the person signing the bill of sale has authority under the business's operating agreement, bylaws, or a board resolution. The title should be in the business's legal name. Provide the buyer with documentation of signatory authority (e.g., a certificate of incumbency or corporate resolution).
Buyer guidance
If buying on behalf of a business, confirm your authority to purchase in the business's organizational documents. The title should be issued in the business's legal name, and your EIN will be needed for the registration. If purchasing a vehicle from a business, verify the seller's representative has authority and that any prior UCC or tax liens on the vehicle are released.
Legal considerations
Contracts signed by an unauthorized representative of a business entity may be voidable under agency law and state corporation/LLC statutes. A business seller must ensure no UCC lien (Article 9 fixture filing) or federal/state tax lien is attached to the vehicle. Business vehicle sales may trigger additional tax reporting obligations (Form 4797 for depreciated business assets, potential sales tax on the entity's basis).
Checklist for this transaction
- 1Confirm the signatory has authority (operating agreement, board resolution, or power of attorney)
- 2Verify the title is in the exact legal name of the business entity
- 3Run a UCC and tax lien search on the business seller
- 4Obtain an EIN for title registration if buying on behalf of an entity
